Best odds out of all the fights. Struve has always been over rated. Struve doesn't have near the power that Kongo does. Barry takes this... easily.

I went with Barry also.....the one thing is if Struve is smart enough to take it to the ground where he is clearly the better.

I see HD chopping his legs for the first round then blasting him early in the 2nd

Barry has a garbage ground game and will practically have to jump to punch Struve in the head. Think this is a tough match up for Barry to win even if Struve's defense isn't the greatest.
